Robust new research published in the journal Nature Communications is demonstrating how a particular species of gut bacteria can directly improve long-term memory in bumblebees. The study found a bacterial metabolite can improve cognitive function in t… Continue reading Bee study identifies gut bacteria that can improve memory
Accumulation of fat specifically around the heart has long been linked to cardiovascular and metabolic disease but until now there hasn’t been a simple way to measure this. A new artificial intelligence tool has been developed that can quantify these f… Continue reading AI tool can measure fat around the heart and calculate one’s diabetes risk
Just last year, scientists declared that Spinosaurus was the first dinosaur known to swim through the water, preying upon fish as it did so. A new study, however, suggests that it was probably more of a shore-based feeder.Continue ReadingCategory: Biol… Continue reading Aquatic dinosaur may have been a shoreline stalker, not a fish-chaser
A new study led by the University of Edinburgh and Queen Mary University of London has identified a protein that plays a crucial role in protecting the body’s blood stem cells from damage during infection, a finding that could lead to new ways to slow … Continue reading Protective protein could help keep blood young and healthy
When we talk about the speed of sound, we usually mean how fast it moves through air. But it can travel much faster through other media, and now scientists at the University of Cambridge and Queen Mary University of London have identified the absolute … Continue reading Maximum speed of sound calculated at 100 times faster than through air
Pancreatic cancer is the deadliest form of cancer with a five-year survival rate of just five percent, well behind that of many common cancer types. Scientists working to improve the odds have made an exciting breakthrough, finding that a peptide taken… Continue reading Foot-and-mouth-disease offers secret weapon against pancreatic cancer
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the leading causes of blindness, and there may now be new hope for treating or even preventing it. An international team of scientists has identified a specific protein that may be the cause of the disor… Continue reading Important finding may help halt age-related macular degeneration
